When regulators engage in “white lies”
Scott Sumner, Econlib - 10 hours ago
Regulators are supposed to protect us from making foolish decisions. When doing so, they often believe the public interest is served by promoting “white lies’, that is, false statements that are intended to be for our own good. If fact, the short run benefits of white lies are almost always outweighed by their much bigger […] The post When regulators engage in “white lies” appeared first on Econlib.

Land Destroyer, Land Destroyer - 10 hours ago
*December 5, 2020 *(Brian Berletic - LD) -For millions of Thais, sufficiency economics - promoted throughout the life of King Rama 9 - serves as a blueprint for building sustainable wealth.

North Korea Has Dreams Of Shooting Down An F-35 (Could It Succeed?)
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Asia* It's more survivable than current aircraft on the Korean Peninsula. *Key point: *South Korea will soon by flying the F-35A. The ROKAF, South Korea’s Air Force received their first F-35A fighter jets in April 2019. The ROKAF hopes to eventually buy forty F-35As and should have ten F-35As by the end of the year. But how do these aircraft fit into the ROKAF’s existing fleet of aircraft? What role could they play in countering the North Korean KPAF? The ROKAF already fields a variety of advanced American fighters, including over one hundred KF-16Cs and...
Joining Delta Force Could Be the Most Difficult Thing You Ever Do
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * One can only speculate about all the missions that remain classified. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* In this light, the unit’s brutal selection and training process is revealed to have a purpose beyond physical fitness fetishism—it’s to help identify the kinds of individuals with the physical prowess and motivation to repeatedly undertake dangerous missions which may indeed at times prove to be impossible. Just how much torture is a person willing to undergo to get a prestigious job? Given that an average of 250 resumes are submitted for every...

Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * War could be coming to the South China Sea. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *What is clear, however, is that the Chinese government is telling the world that the DF-100 is a hypersonic, regional-level anti-ship missile that will impose a new, challenging threat-vector for long-range attacks against large warships over a thousand miles of China’s coastline.

Will the U.S. Navy Build Stealthy AIP Submarines?
Mark Episkopos, The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Mark Episkopos* *Security, Americas* AIP technology is rapidly shaping up to be a potent, cost-conscious alternative to nuclear submarines—just not for the U.S. Navy. The U.S. Navy has not built diesel-electric submarines since the late 1950s, instead investing itself into an all-nuclear powered submarine force. Will a slew of modern advancements in AIP (air-independent propulsion) technology prompt the Navy to reconsider its stance? A conventional, diesel-electric submarine generates electricity that drives the motor, which then powers the propellers. There are major disadvan...
Britain’s Astute-class Submarine: One of the Best Ever Built?
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Technology, Europe* Yet, despite the formidable armament and capabilities, the Astute-class has been involved in several incidents that call into question their capabilities. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Since the Astute-class are nuclear powered, they have virtually unlimited range. Endurance is limited only by crew requirements, namely food and water, which must be replenished once every 90 days. Onboard purification systems filter both water and air and allow the Astute-class to circumnavigate the world—without needing to surface. While the United Kin...

Russia Claims It Has Nothing To Fear From the F-35 Stealth Fighter
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Eurasia* Americans are horrified when their soldiers don't receive the most cutting-edge equipment. Russia is willing to sacrifice sophistication for simplicity. *Here's What You Need to Know*: War and technology are not the same. Surprise! America's F-35 stealth fighter is too complicated and expensive, claims a Russian military expert interviewed by Russian media back in 2018. Hard to believe, isn't it?

Donald Trump: The Bull Moose Candidate of 2024?
Rachel Bucchino, The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Rachel Bucchino* *Politics, Americas* With speculation rife about President Donald Trump running for a non-consecutive term in 2024, experts have suggested that he might decide to form his own third-party based on “Trumpism,” similar to what Roosevelt did in the 1912 election. The presidential election of 1912 reflected a time of party division and booming progressivism in partisan politics, as former President Theodore Roosevelt led a robust movement of Republicans who opposed reflexive conservatism. Roosevelt, who served as president of the United States from 1901 to 1909, d...

The annu­al approval of the gar­gan­tu­an U.S. mil­i­tary bud­get is one of the most reli­able rit­u­als in Con­gress. It is so ordi­nary and over­whelm­ing­ly bipar­ti­san, it’s bare­ly con­sid­ered news­wor­thy, and few out­lets fol­low the details of exact­ly how much the gov­ern­ment is allo­cat­ing to a nuclear weapons buildup, or deploy­ments to the Asia Pacif­ic, or the steady creep of U.S. mil­i­tary bases across the con­ti­nent of Africa.

Who benefits from the lockdowns, musings and opinions
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 11 hours ago
The lockdowns have benefitted the unions and Big Tech, two entities massively intertwined with politicians. The lockdowns have hurt the church, small businesses, and anyone seeking an education, particularly children. This won't end well. The lockdowns have increased suspicion and animosity between the haves and have nots (of freedom) Even an ordinary person sees that the ruling class tells us to mask up and shut up, while they continue life as usual--parties, restaurants, travel, investments, and private in-school education for their kids. So when Biden says, wear a mask for 100 ...

In 2013,three Black women social activist friends working in non-profit organizations in California invented the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter which, along with #Ferguson, became most identified with the mass movement that converged on Ferguson, Missouri, following the police killing of Mike Brown, in August of 2014.

James “Jimmy” Doolittle’s force of B-25 Mitchell bombers against targets in and around Tokyo, Japan. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The B-21 Raider is set to fly in the mid-2020s, and the Air Force plans to buy at least a hundred of the bombers to replace the B-52H Stratofortress and B-1B Lancer bombers. A larger fleet of up to two hundred bombers is possible, but entirely bound to fiscal realities. We don’t know what the Raider in its fin...
India's Navy Has Arrived
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *India, Asia* In the past five decades, India has seen its naval force grown to a regional “green water” naval force that had a small fleet of just 20 vessels, to now commanding a “blue water” navy with a 100-plus warship armada. The Indian Navy is not exactly new—it can trace its origins back to the Royal Indian Navy, which was founded in 1612 as a branch of the Honourable East India Company. It wasn’t until 1830 however that the colonial navy was re-designated His Majesty’s Indian Navy, and a century later in 1934, it became the Royal Indian Navy. When India bec...
The World Needs a Powerful America—the Tragic Alternative Is Xinjiang
Matthew R. Crouch, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Matthew R. Crouch* *Security, Americas* To suggest that the world no longer requires a powerful United States is to accept a world where the “expansive, crypto-totalitarian force” of Xi’s China or the kleptocratic despotism of Putin’s Russia hold sway. Tragedy occurs when an unfortunate event, made certain by flaws over which there is no control, befalls a heroic figure. It suggests an inevitability and a fatalism that applied in real life is both desperate and craven. The U.S. decision to pursue global supremacy following the Second World War, and the subsequent era of worldwid...
Here’s How USS ArcherFish Took Down Japan’s Most Prized Aircraft Carrier
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *Security, Asia* The carrier was a formidable weapon. *Here's What You Need to Remember: * The first torpedo struck farthest aft. Over the next 30 seconds three more warheads detonated against the massive aircraft carrier’s hull, working their way forward. The explosions and instant flooding immediately killed scores of men, many asleep in their bunks. As tons of seawater cascaded into the wounded colossus, men below deck could see the extent of the damage, were seized with panic, and stampeded topside. The missiles had hit 10 feet below the water line,...
U.S. Marines Are Training to Fight in the Arctic
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Americas* Our guess: they aren't training to fight Canada, that much seems certain. Over its 245 year history, the United States Marine Corps has been deployed to regions that might seem like tropical paradises, were the Marines are seen not having to do the dirty job of fighting America's enemies. While extreme heat and high humidity have been a foe of the Marine riflemen in many conflicts, so too have extreme cold and high winds, which is why U.S. Marines of the Marine Rotational Force Europe 21.1 (MRF-E), Marine Forces Europe and Africa recently took p...

B-1B Lancer Bomber Truly Now Has More Fire in the 'Belly'
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Americas* Meaning: The U.S. Air Force's B-1B Lancer bomber can't be enlarged, but efforts are now underway to “supersize” its carriage capabilities. The U.S. Air Force's B-1B Lancer bomber can't be enlarged, but efforts are now underway to "supersize" its carriage capabilities. Last month one of the Cold War-era bombers took part in an external captive carry flight over the skies of Edwards Air Force Base, and that demonstration could pave the way for the B-1B to carry hypersonic weapons externally. The flight test involved a B-1B Lancer assigned to the 4...

The Middle East and American Democracy’s Near-Death Experience
Paul Salem, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Paul Salem* *Politics, Middle East* The fascination with the peaceful removal of leaders by a simple vote in the United States has always contrasted painfully with the inability of most Middle Eastern populations to do the same. Susan Rice, in a New York Times op-ed, aptly described American democracy’s recent travails as a “near death experience.” Indeed, when I moved from Beirut to Washington, DC seven years ago, leaving the upheaval of the Arab Spring behind me, I did not expect to run into the winter of democracy in the United States. Yet here I was, feeling oddly at home, u...

Eating Their Own
Owen Gray, Northern Reflections - 14 hours ago
For four years, Donald Trump turned his fire on anyone he thought was his enemy. His supporters cheered. Now his supporters are learning that Trump treats his supporters with the same contempt he has for his opponents. Michelle Goldberg writes: Since Trump’s defeat, the MAGA revolution has begun devouring its own. As it does, some conservatives are discovering the downsides of having a president who spreads malicious conspiracy theories, subverts faith in democracy and turns the denial of reality into a loyalty test. As the internet meme goes, people voted for the Leopards Eating ...

Iowa City, IA — Nick Klein knew the man wasn’t going to make it through the night. So the 31-year-old nurse at the University of Iowa ICU put on his gown, his gloves, his mask, and his face shield. He went into the patient’s room, held a phone to his ear, and tried hard not to cry while he listened to the man’s loved ones take turns saying goodbye. When they were finished, Klein put on some music, a muted melody like you might hear in an elevator. He pulled up a chair and took the man’s hand. For two hours that summer night, there were no sounds but soft piano and the gentle beep b...
